"I have always liked to travel, originally wanted to go to the East Bay to see the vast sea scenery, when passing through Pingqiu County, I heard that the Tiankeng scenery of Dali Mountain is beautiful, so I rushed over. This time, it was really worth the trip. Shen Luo's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he had thought of something, and as he spoke, he raised his wine glass and saluted the beautiful scenery outside the window, and drank it all in one gulp.

When the plum wine entered his throat, it was slightly sour and sweet, and then it was hot and peculiar, spreading between his tongue and throat, making him raise his eyebrows and be quite surprised.

"Hehe, I can't see anything in the daytime now, and at night the moonlight in the sinkhole is a must, but this time it has been raining continuously, and if it is covered by thick clouds at night, you can't see anything. Ao Hong also poured himself a drink.

At this time, the meals at the inn were also served one after another, and Shen Luo chatted with Ao Hong and drank freely.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two chatted quite speculatively, when a chaotic footstep suddenly sounded at the door, and they turned their heads at the same time, and saw that the cotton curtain outside the door had been lifted, and a few people walked in.

These people were all wearing heavy robes and bamboo hats on their heads, and they all took off them one by one after entering the house, and put them down against the wall by the door.

The first of them was a tall old man with short beards, with bright eyes and a look of good spirits, and two young men with pale faces who looked like sickly faces, both of whom were of similar appearance and size, and looked like twins.

In addition to these three people, there was also a woman with a delicate figure, but her face was covered with a black veil, and her face could not be seen clearly.

The four of them were all dressed in brown shorts, with a circle of thumb-thick hemp rope coiled around their waists, and their feet and legs were stained with mud, as if they had just walked through the mud of the mountains and forests.

"Yo, shopkeeper Chen, there are new customers in the store?" The short-bearded old man led by him glanced at Shen Luo and the two of them, and said with a smile.

Listening to that tone, it seems that he is very familiar with the short and fat shopkeeper of the inn.

"Brother Lu, it's not the popularity you brought after you came, otherwise at this time of year in previous years, apart from you swallow pickers, where would anyone be willing to come to this poor country?" said the short and fat shopkeeper with a smile.

"Swallow pickers?" Shen Luo was slightly surprised.

He is no stranger to this business, which is to collect bird's nests and sell them, and their family pharmacy often deals with bird's nest pickers.

"Haha, it's still the same, warm a few pots of wine, put a few dishes, and send them to the room, the wind leaks in this hall on all sides, blowing people's bones are panicked, swishing cold. The short-bearded old man greeted him, and walked upstairs on his own.

The other three followed.

It's just that the masked woman who walked at the end, when she was climbing the stairs, glanced at the window as if she was looking at it, and she didn't know if she was looking at Shen Luo or Ao Hong.

"When that old brother said this, I really felt a little cold, Shopkeeper Chen, help heat up this pot of wine." Shen Luo said, wrapped his cloak, and shouted to the shopkeeper.

"Okay. The shopkeeper had already gone to the back kitchen to help, and the shopkeeper rushed over by himself.

Shen Luo saw him approaching, and asked casually:

"Speaking of February, March, it is the rainy season, insects breed vigorously, swallows have sufficient food, saliva secretion is vigorous, and the quality of bird's nest is the best, which is the best season to pick bird's nest, why is it the end of April, these people have not left?"

"What the guest officer said is an ordinary swiftlet, on the cliff of the sinkhole in our Dali Mountain, there is a special group of swallows called 'swifts', which secrete saliva and build a nest a month later than the swiftlets, and now is the right time. Hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen explained with a smile.

"I see, it's lonely and unheard. Shen Luo nodded and said.

"Where, it's that the bird's nest quality of the swift is not as good as the swiftlet, and it has no name, and the guest officer doesn't know. Speaking of which, this is the time of year when they collect. Shopkeeper Chen smiled.

After saying that, he also went to prepare food for those people.

Shen Luo and Ao Hong chatted with each other, glancing at the scenery outside the window from time to time.

At the same time, in one of the rooms upstairs, the four swallow pickers from earlier were sitting around a table.

"The two people next to the window downstairs, if I'm not mistaken, are both cultivators, but I'm afraid they are also running for the blue-eyed golden toad. The short-bearded old man looked serious, without the slightest smile, and spoke.

"If you dare to rob us, you can kill us. The two pale-faced young men looked at each other and said in unison.

"Hmph, it's easy to kill, do you know their background, are there other people behind them?, what if you get into more trouble?" the woman snorted coldly, still covering her face.

"Yu Xin Daoyou is right, the current situation is unclear, and you can't act rashly. The short-bearded old man nodded and said.

"Senior Tong Guan, let's not talk about this for a while, are we really sure that we can find the blue-eyed golden toad this time?" asked the masked woman known as Yu Xin, who raised her eyebrows slightly.

"We've been here for five years in a row, and the golden toad will only appear once when it is shaken by thunder at the end of the rainy season. The short-bearded old man named Tong Guan clenched his fists and said with burning eyes.

"That's good. As long as I successfully complete the task this time, I will be able to enter the main altar and meet the Holy Lord, right?" Yu Xin asked with some eagerness.

"Don't worry, if you can win the Golden Toad, your merits will naturally be enough to meet the Holy Lord. Tong Guan nodded.

After Yu Xin received this satisfactory answer, she said goodbye and left and went back to her room.

"Tong Lao, I always feel that this surname Yu is not credible?" the two young men spoke again, and said together.

"She has only been in our refining altar for a short time, so she really has to be on guard. However, in the past few days, it can be seen that she is indeed fascinated by the general altar, and she is never sloppy in doing things, and she is a wonderful chess game when she uses it well. Tong Guan said slowly.

"After that...... Can you?" said one of the two young men for the first time.

"Feng Shan, there is a knife on the head of the color word, can't you change the dog to eat?" the other man glared angrily and said.

"Seal the water, my brother is just such a little fun, you also have to take care of it?" the former muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, everything will wait until this mission is completed, and no one is allowed to cause trouble for me during this period, otherwise none of us will want to have good fruit to eat. Tong Guan shouted, and the two brothers immediately shut up.

After a moment of silence, Tong Guan sighed silently: "Everything is ready, just wait for the thunder." ”
